To become eligible to pursue medical studies in Estonia, candidates usually need to meet specific admission requirements.

Students in medical programs in Estonia also participate in clinical rotations and internships under the supervision of experienced healthcare professionals.

Upon completion of the medical program, graduates are required to pass the Estonian Health Inspectorate's licensure exam to become fully licensed medical professionals. This licensure is essential for practicing medicine independently in Estonia.

Meditsiinikraadiga-holders are qualified to specialize in areas such as family medicine, surgery, pediatrics, or other medical specialties.
